The last stop on our “Uncover Sulawesi” vacation. We saved Bunaken for last—because of the sea turtles and because it’s the quickest way to get to the airport from Lumbalumba Resort.
The Kuda Laut bungalow we were assigned differs from those at Sea Souls and Pulisan Resort in that it’s situated on a hillside and isn’t right on the beach—but that doesn’t take away from the charm. The resort is beautiful, home to many different plants, trees, and flowers that Juud planted here. The pool is amazing and the view from there is stunning—with very beautiful sunsets.
The food is super delicious; luckily, we go diving (and it’s 200 steps from the Kuda Laut Bungalow to the dive center) to burn off all those calories :) The lunch we were served on the boat during our dive days was also plentiful and very tasty—just like the snacks between dives.
Juud and Roel have created a beautiful resort and dive center here where you immediately feel at home.
The trip to the Minahasa Highlands was very informative, and we learned a lot from Maxi that day.
Everyone spoiled us, and we were very sad when we had to head back home.

The small resort is located about 1 hour south of Manado, the houses are built quite steeply on a slope. It can be a bit sweaty in the heat. The park-like grounds with tropical plants are very well maintained.
We stayed in one of the four "free-standing chalets", very nice with a terrace overlooking the sea and Bunaken. The open restaurant/bar is also very nice, but it would be a good idea not to serve the whole buffet at the same time, as this makes everything cold...
The resort offers interesting day trips (ask for Chris as driver/guide), e.g. the "Minahasa Highland" tour, to Tangkoko Nature Reserve (jungle with monkeys etc.), and trekking tour to the Lokon volcano (this is probably only for the hardy).
Access to the entire resort area is secured and locked, there is a security service.
